Mark Uwens wins the Senior Event
Cricket Retrospect In my 1986 report I commented on the promise for 1987 and I am pleased to say that this proved to be accurate. On our normal school circuit both the 1st and 2nd XIs were unbeaten and only one poor performance at the festival spoiled an otherwise excellent season. The spirit among the members of Game 1 was first class and all three teams had the benefit of good captains. As 1st XI Captain, Nigel Muirhead set a fine example, was always positive and improved quickly in the tactical area of the game. Impressive, too, was Mark Reid who led the team twice in Muirhead's absence. The 2nd XI captain, Nigel Collinson, did a selfless and invaluable job, leading an undefeated team and at the same time giving all his players a chance to show their ability. John Hewitt was equally effective as 3rd XI captain. The batting was sound and there were several outstanding individual performances. Opener Richard Hutchinson had a rather disappointing season. Although he batted well on occasions he did not play with the confidence and concentration which he has shown in the past. His partner Mark Reid showed in an aggressive innings against the Forty Club what a good stroke player he can be, but for much of the season his play was inhibited. At No.3, William Robinson had a very good first season in the XI. If at times rather loose in defence he played a lot of fine attacking shots. As in his match-winning performance against Ampleforth Guy Wilkinson played some valuable innings, but he did not make the big scores of which he is capable. However many congratulations to him on his selection for the Yorkshire Senior Schools XI. Tim Cooper had a mixed season, but two outstanding innings gave clear evidence of his potential. Nigel Muirhead played with increasing confidence and in the last few matches was in great form scoring two undefeated centuries. He averages over 50 despite sacrificing his wicket on a number of occasions in the interest of the team. Jonathan Renshaw joined the team late in the season and after a frustrating start played well in the Bryanston match. Peter Gair started the season promisingly but scored few runs and eventually 43
